1. What made you want to compete?
Competing was something Ive always dreamed of doing but never had the guts, self esteem and courage to do it or even so i was intimidated . Jan 8 2012 I lost my father unexpectedly. i really thought my life was over. I still woke up everyday with a fake smile on my face while feeling completely dead inside wondering how i was gonna live the rest of my life. As the year went on i fell into a deep depression and lost myself, there were days i couldn’t even think straight. I just wanted my father back and believed i would see him walk through that front door once again. When the holidays came around I remember sitting opening presents telling myself “2013 is gonna be my year and Im going to start setting serious goals.” My father was my biggest supporter in anything I did he would have my back and cheer me on to the end in whatever I got myself involved in. I knew he wouldnt wanna see me like this, I knew i couldn’t sit around anymore and had to do something . Jan 2013 I set some goals and here I am weeks away from stepping on stage in Roade Island with my father on my side.

2. What do you do to stay inspired?
Constantly thinking positive thoughts the negatives at times slip In there but I fight it and replace it with a positive thought Instead of saying ” I think I can do it ” I tell myself ” I will do it”. Its a daily battle. My fellow brickhouse teammates who have competed before and who haven’t, stick together and push one another closer to success . We’re brickhouse for a reason it’s hard to break a brick in half so to try to break one of us is impossible. My coach Tabitha Sierra is incredible with her constant positive attitude and engery towards me. I drive a hour n half just to train with her once a week just to soak up all her positive attitude and determination I need for the week.

3. What shows have you already been in or plan to be in in the future?
I haven’t done any. This will be my first and I’m ready to bring Rhode Island everything I got.

4. Who got you started?
A co-worker at work told me about her sister competing as she was showing me all her pictures I was telling her I always wanted to do it, and my response was “no way i could never “I walked into work the next day and said “Screw this im gonna do it” She led me to Tabitha Sierra and that’s where my journey began

5. Who do you look to for help now?

9. Has fitness changed your life? If so, how?
It’s changed my life mentally physically and emotionally . I wake up everyday feeling great inside and out mentally becauseI know I can do anything I want to achieve. Physically because there were certain exercises I couldn’t do in the beginning of training that I can do now and emotionally I feel confident and positive . I was always that “skinny” girl and ate whatever I wanted but I didn’t feel how I feel now I was over 22%body fat and I’m down to 13.6 and I feel amazing. I have all the confidence self esteem i need

My family for dealing with my crankiness , My friends for showing me support and my brickhouse girls for all the advice and encouragement and especially my coach Tabitha sierra for having all the confidence in me when I thought I couldn’t or having my doubts, it was almost as if I was a magic eraser board and she erased all my doubts and filled it with confidence.

18. What are challenges that you face that may keep you from reaching your fitness goals?

19. What obstacles have you overcome to be where you are?
Dieting, the time and effort to make my meals as yummy as possible, Planning everyday out, planing what day would be my cheat meal. Putting in the time to train either before work after work . Most of all not having my ADD kick in making me losing focus.
